Setting up FreeCAD

3D mouse support was made with spnav project on Linux, and on a very low level on Windows. This means there was no support for any settings for a device, since on Linux there is no good support for this, and on Windows it is overridden. This is why two additional pages were added to "Customize" dialog.

Spaceball Motion

In this tab you have ability to set up some of general space mouse settings. They include:

Global Sensitivity - Slider with ability to set global sensitivity

Dominant - if you enable dominant mode, only axes with highest move will be considered

Flip YZ - This option enables you to flip Y and Z axes on 3D mouse

Enable Translations - easy way to enable/disable translations

Enable Rotations - easy way to enable/disable rotations

Calibrate - enables you to calibrate space navigator. It is pressed while space navigator is not moved.

Set To Default - removes all settings and sets them to default.

Other than this, for each axes you have ability to set:

Enabled - Enable/Disable axes

Reverse - Reverse movement on axes

Sensitivity - slider with ability to set sensitivity

Spaceball Buttons

When you open this tab for the first time, it will be empty and unavailable. To activate it, you must press one of your space mouse buttons. After you do, list of buttons will appear on the left side, and list of commands will be available on the right side.

To connect certain command with a button, select button on the left side, and it's command on the right side.
To clear commands from button, press "Clear".
